This extraordinary historical biography of Geyer's 27 year law enforcement career features 120 year old murder cases that made national headlines and history of one of America's largest police departments.

Holmes and the cross-country, international investigation that led to the discovery of his shocking crimes, the grisly Hannah Mary Tabbs dismembered torso case, Modern Borgia killer Sarah Jane Whiteling who was the first woman hung in Philadelphia, and several more disturbing cases investigated by Geyer.
